TF1: How to Download your Notebooks in Google Colab and Coursera Labs

Google Colab

If clicking the assignment link goes to a URL starting with https://colab.research.google.com, you can download your notebook by simply clicking File → Download → Download.ipynb.


Coursera Labs

If you clicked on a blue Launch Notebook! button in your classroom to load a Jupyter notebook in Coursera, you can follow one of these two methods:


Method 1 - If you want to just download the notebook you’re working on:

  1. From the Menu Bar of the notebook you are working on, Click File → Save and Checkpoint to first save your progress.
  2. Click File → Download as → Notebook (.ipynb). This should start downloading the file to your local machine.

Method 2 - If you want to download the notebook and other files available in the workspace:

  1. From the Menu Bar of the notebook you are working on, Click File → Save and Checkpoint to first save your progress.

  2. Click on the Lab Files tab at the upper right corner of the screen:

  3. A file explorer should slide from the right side of the screen. From there, you can click the Download all files button to get all available files. That will download a Files.zip file which you can extract to your local workstation.

    Alternatively, you can use the said file explorer to navigate to the files you want to download, tick the checkmark beside it, then click the Download button.
